Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain. Is seen attested through late medieval and early modern periods as a Tostum (1343), a œfrom Tostom (1379), Thaste (1563), Taste (1567), Thasta (1610), Taste, and Thastadt (1616).[1] By 1915, the normal spelling was Tastad, although the suffixed stad (place) does not seem to be etymologically correct.[1] The oldest spellings, as also the pronunciation, suggest an Old Norse *Tastar.[2] Etymologist Inge Særheim ponders a relation to tasa (to ravel) and tase m (rag, tear), referring to its southern lake Stokkavatnet, which would have been a fjord at the time, tearing into the landscape.[2]
